Assignment

The following exam has been designed to assess the student’s ability to utilise 3d
modelling features and processes in Autodesk Inventor. Attached with this brief
is a single page assembly drawing of an occasion table.

Requirements:

 Students must complete a 3d model of the table using any modelling

methodology they deem most efficient.
 Students must identify 6 key parameters for the creation of the table.
Parameters must be added to the model.
 Students must create an assembly of the table.
 Students must create an exploded view of the table to match the view on
the drawing.
 Students must recreate the drawing of the occasion table that is attached.
The Drawing must include exploded view, orthographic projections,
section projections, and detail views. Students must also include a parts
list and balloon reference the parts on the exploded view.
 Students must export the drawing to a PDF and upload to Learnonline in
a zipped folder which must also include all model files and project file.

File Management Instruction:

Students must create a folder on the desktop using the naming system below:

Student No_CADCAM_CA3_2019

Students must then create a new Inventor project using the same name and set
the created folder as the project folder. Failure to do this correctly will result in
model errors when opening files and will lead to a loss of marks.

If the project is created correctly all model files will be created in the project
folder. Students must save the project folder to a zip file and upload to the
correct Learnonline link on the CADCAM page. Ensure PDF is included in the
project folder.

Students will be allowed 120 minutes to complete the assignment. Please save
material regularly and ensure your zipped project folder is uploaded to
Learnonline immediately after the allowed time has elapsed.

The liability is on students to check and save their own work. Should students
fail to correctly upload exam material a grade of 0% will be awarded.
Remember to save your work often.
Ensure you return drawings and brief to the lecturer or exam
invigilator after completing the exam.
